| Description | ||||
| Web servers provide numerous processes, features, and functionalities that use TCP/IP ports. Some of these processes may be deemed unnecessary or too unsecure to run on a production system. The ports that Performance Charts listens on are configured in the "catalina.properties" file and must be verified as accurate to their shipping state. | ||||
